Have been watching that since the Alive games, and he basically always has just the right amounts of banelings targeting groups of marines, and does hardly ever lose a lot of banelings early on. I guess that's why he goes Muta/ling/bling. He is confident to make his banelings very efficient, while the mutas give him the spire, air ups and way more pressure options. It's a more dynamic playstyle. That's why it makes for so awesome games to watch. | ||

What other Code B korean have won 3 foreign tournaments and placed high in others? the answer is this - Puma He won 2 NASL and 1 IEM, while placing 2nd at IEM WC and high finishes in other tournaments. poor Puma, he doesn't get super biased casting and fanboys  | ||

Zergs micro is different than terran, you need to make sure your banelings are not on A move, because if you just use the normal move command, they get killed by the terran, wasting fire on them, rather than you using attack with them, and it also makes sure you don't A move into tanks/thors/marauders, but if your banelings are in a good position you wanna detonate them, you need to make sure Mutalisk doesn't clump up during fights if there is a thor, or they will get destroyed. Setting up flanks is also important, and its very hard to actually do succesfully, you also need to target tanks, you don't want 20 lings attacking 1 tank when you only need, lets say 8 on a tank. Zerg looks a little more like A-move, but it really isn't when controlled by top zergs. Also keep in mind, things like creep spread, injects, overlord spread, is all important factor that top zergs do (some better than others). | ||

Zerg is all about management, injects, drone count/repartition, creep, how many units you build and when... In battle micro is lesser than what's it for T but it's way easier to manage your macro as a T. Tho it makes me rage when i'm playing from time to time to see those A move while i'm trying to split like a madman. | ||

The QQ I think was mainly because fungal was just starting to get used and zergs weren't really abusing it as well as they can now. Making Fungal dodge able would add a lot more excitement and would help hugely with the BL/infester army that both Terran and Protoss are having trouble dealing with. | ||
